Yeah, possibly, they're working on LP7 now. Although it could be some time into next year...
I don't like Hail To The Thief THAT much, but it's the first Radiohead album I got, so I supose it must have been good to turn me into the pathetic fan I am now..

It has its moments but it's overlong and lacks 'the songs'. Frankly it's up against the gold that's in The Bends, OK Computer and Amnesiac and therefore sits at the bottom of the Radiohead pile for me alongside Kid A and Pablo Honey. And about half the songs on Pablo Honey kick HTTT into a cocked hat, if only it hadn't been produced as a grunge album...

its good..certinly
but..
it, like amnesiac, does not work as an album
and it could have been better...this is coming from a huge rh fan... just think they need to evolve more...and ot try and be so different but accessible.
i say get steve albini to produce/record the next one

Kid A and Amnesiac work perfectly as whole albums in my opinion. That's why they're so good. And on the whole they're pretty accesible. Excluding a few tracks (Backdrifts, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, Treefingers) the last 3 Radiohead albums have been full of 'songs'. Incidentally, I love most of the 'less accessible' stuff. Pulk/Pull in particular is amazing.

I say don't get Steve Albini. Nigel Godrich is partly responsible for the brilliance.

Also saying Radiohead need to evolve more is ridiculous. They evolve gradually and naturally with every album. A sudden change in style wouldn't neccesarily work and if it doesn't come naturally, is pointless.

Whats wrong with you all, do you not like choruses or melody? Ooh look at us, we're so self important and great that we dont need to write songs, just lump some noises together and call it an album. Tosh and fippery. Best band of the Nineties. The only people that think that are 12 year olds who didn't start listening to music until 2001. Revisionist nonsense.

Where I End and You Begin might just have overtaken Lucky as my favourite Radiohead song. It's sooooo good, though this morning someone at work looked at me in an odd way when they caught me singing "I will eat you alive" quietly to myself.

I like the rest of the album, and it certainly has moments of genius for me, but I find it more of a chore to sit through than a pleasure.

Oddly enough I put HTTT on yesterday for the first time in about a year - before reading this thread. It is a work of genius. "Backdrifts" and "Myxamatosis" are 2 reasons why everyone should own this album. Right up there with their best stuff.
